Hi All,
I have an Access97 frontend on a SQL Server 2005 back end database. Reading your forums, I discovered how to generate a dropdown list of available printers. I can also store the user's choice from the listbox in a front-end table. Now I need to know: Do you have any code that I can use to assign the printer to the report in the on_open event of the report? FYI, I'm trying to allow workstation users to define 2 default printers, 1 for sheet reports and another for labels. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi.
See "ActivePrin ter property" topic in Access help.
I couldn't find any "ActivePrin ter" in Access97 help or in the VBA object browser. Where should I look next?
I need to select a printer in a list box, and then print reports to that printer until the selection is changed. Any ideas? Please?

Tip and Code Sample: Switching Printers from within your MS Access Application
Fellow Access develepor, Mark Plumpton, of customdata.co.n z, has kindly provided sample code for easily switching printers on the fly while printing Access reports, with code as simple as this...
SaveDefaultPrin ter
DefaultPrinter = "HP Laserjet (A3)"
DoCmd.OpenRepor t "rptTest", acViewNormal
RestoreDefaultP rinter
Download these demo Access97/2000 databases, which include a class module that performs the function of listing and switching default printers. http://www.aadconsulting.com/printers.zip
The code is also an excellent example of how you can use classes in your MS Access applications.

Hi all!
I have a subroutine that prints reports on a specific printer. The code
works fine as long as all the printers available to the computer are on
the network. However, if the computer also has a local printer, the
report is prints locally. What I'm I doing wrong! The complete
subroutine follows:
Private Sub PrintReport(strReportName As String)
On Error GoTo PrintReport_Err

Hi,
I am creating application in VB 2005. and when I print report it adds extra
0.45 cm margin on left and top, and the reason for this is physical margins
of printer.
Is it possible to change printer's physical margins using VB coding?

Using Access 2000 (Yes I know there is no Printer specified) and an MDE File

VBA of temporarily changing the report's printer from the default printer
for that report to a PDF995 printer (so that i can print it to a file for
subsequent emailing) then back to the default Epsom 830 printer?
Thanks for any help
